land today expressed fear that as many as 2,000 persons may have

Vishinsky -
Insists Arms
Report A'Lie
PARIS, Dec. 4—(J))---Andrei Y.
Vishinsky branded as a lie today
a report that he had not answered
a question in the secret Big Four
arms talks about whether Russia
would admit inspectors• as soon
as • atomic weapons we r e pro
hibited. '
The Soviet foreign minister in
sisted in an involved statement
to newsmen on immediate pro
hibition of atomic bombs, before
an international poritrol system is
working.
Blasts News Reports
Advised of Vishinsky's angry
reaction, Western spokesmen said
they ha "got a reply, but not
an answer" to the question.
Vishinsky stopped in a UN cor
ridor after the Big Four session
today and issued a blast at news
paper reports, based upon ac'
counts by western sources, that
he had' not given a satisfactory
answer to this question yesterday
by U.S. Ambassador Philip Jes
sup:
Will the Soviet Union admit
international inspectors into its
territory one the very day after
the prbhibition of the atoni i c
bomb is declared?
Controls Take Time
Vishinsky fired back, in his'
first public comment on the talks,
that "of course it is necessary to
.organize various measures closely
connected with control." He said
that if this is set forth in a con
vention, only , people who seek to
delay, such as calling for employ
ment of inspectors, instructing
them and sending them to ap
propriate places.
"Whoever thinks it is possible
and necessary to postpone the
prohibition of atomic weapons un
til_they have penned their signa
ture to a convention on atomic
weapons forgets that to set up a
control machinery and to set it
into motion • cannot be imple
mented immediately, on the very
day and the very hour, of the
prohibition dedision."
Westerndiplomats said they
felt this meant "no" on the ques
tion of inspection within Russia.

fears of a tremendous death toll
mounted as hundreds remained
missing' nearly 24 hours after the
eruption. _ ,
However, the Red Cross report
of known dead remained / at 141
early ,today.
The news report said all houses
in Ganasan Village at the foot of
Hibok Hibok' were burned and it
appeared from a' distance that all
of the inhabitants had been
killed.
141 Dead
In addition, tw o Philippine
news correspondents who reached
the island last night said, a heavy
layer of still smoking ashes ap
peared to have trapped residents
of six other villages, all within
three miles of the crater.
The report emphasized that the
141 bodies were found only along
roads on the outer fringe of the
six square mile area which was
heavily covered.
So many islanders were jam
med into the safer areas that. it
was impossible to tell how many
had perished.
Gov. Paciencio Ysalina of East
ern Misamis Province telegraphed
President Elpidio Quirino t hat
only a few thousand persons
needed to be evacuated to Min
danao Island, 40 miles south of

Thirst an d hunger, however,
were facing thousands of island
ers.
Ashes polluted the water sup
ply almost everywhere on the is
land.
Refugees fleeing from the ash
laden area quickly were exhaust
ing the island's scant food sup
plies, the governor said.
East, West Germany
invited' to UN Talks
PARIS, Dec. 4—(JP)—The UN special political committee decided
50 to six today to invite both East and West Germans to its debates
over the proposed formation of a UN inquiry commission on all-
German/ elections.
Russian opposition suggested, however, that only the West
Germans will be in 'a position to accept.
The Soviet, bloc and Israel voted against the invitation, sug
gested by Pakistan. Their rea
sons were poles apart.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik led the
Soviet bloc opposition to this first
action to give postwar Germany
a voice—restricted, but . still a
voice—at .the UN council table.
He argued that the establishment
of the commission would be . an in
sult to the Germans. He said, they
were politically mature, can very
well settle their own political
problems and don't need to send
spokesmen to the UN.
The Israeli position was that
Ithe Germans should not be invited
to UN meetings until Germany
has given evidence that she has
rid herself of Nazi politics. For
eign Minister Moshe Sharriett said
Israel does not believe Germany
is ready to reenter the family of
nations.

Hopeful for
Armistice
MUNSAN, Korea, Wednesday,
Dec. 5 (JP) A joint four-man
subcommittee of United Nations
an d Communist truce delegates
sparred warily Tuesday as they
tackled the detailed job of ar
ranging for supervision of a Ko
rean armistice.
Fr o m the absence of ground
fighting, it appeared each side
was still hopeful that' an over-all
armistice agf cement might be
reached by Dec. 27 when a 30-
day deadline expires.
However, numerous questions
on details of a Communist -pro
posed compromise for supervis
ing the truce awaited answer.
The Communists promised to
give their answers in writing to
an Allied liaison officer at 11 a.m.
today (9 p.m. Tuesday, EST). Two
hours later the joint subcommit
te was scheduled to meet again
at Panmunjom.
During ,a meeting of the full
five-man delegations Tuesday
Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief
UN negotiator, proposed that, an
other subcommitee be set up im
mediately to work on the ex
change of war prisoners. That is
the next point on the agenda.
Communist Maj. Gen. Nam Il
replied, that Joy's suggestion
would be considered and an an
swer given "in due time."
Stassen Sails
For European,
Talks with Ike
WASHINGTON; Dec. 4 —(JP)—
Harold
E: Stassen sailed from
New York today for a conference
with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
in Paris that might determine
whether Stassen bids for the' 1952
Republican presidential nomina
tion.
The former Minnesota Governor
obviously hopes to get some in
formation on Eisenhower's- poli
tical plans, if any. Whether
,he
will, however, seems doubtful.
Eisenhower is being boomed
by some Republicans for their
party's nomination. But the Gen
eral has declined to say publicly
whether he is a Republican and
whether he would be available
even if a nomination were forth
coming.
Dan Gainey, manager of Stas
sen'.s Washington headquarters,
told a news conference he fully
expects Stassen to enter the presi
dential race, even if Eisenhower
shDuld become a candidate. • ,
He wouldn't comment on spec
ulation that Stassen may seek del
egates in his home state of
Minnesota and elsewhere to as
sure himself of a trading position
at next July's nominating con
vention so that he might become
a vice presidential candidate. •

US Demands
Air Crew's
Freedom
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Dec. 4
—(/?)—The United States today
demanded that Hungary free four
crewmen and return the Ameri
can C-47 transport plane which
was forced down by Soviet fight
ers Nov. 19 while on a flight from
West Germany to Yugoslavia.
Some diplomatic observers said
they believed the demand would
be met comparatively soon.
They pointed out that a Hun
garian note yesterday and a pre
vious Soviet news agency account
charged that the plane was in
tended for dumping spies into
Hungary, but did not accuse the
four U.S. Air Force men them
selves of such activities.
George Abbott, U.S. char g e
d'affairs since the departure last
summer of Minister Nathaniel
Davis, asked release of the avia
tors and their C-47 transport plane
when he called on Foreign Minis
ter Karoly Kiss at 2:30 p.m. to
day. A formal note later made the
same request.
Abbott refused to make any
prediction as to whether the de
mand might be met, but he said
Foreign Minister Kiss promised to
pass it on to proper authorities.
State Senate Will
Probe Patronage
'Bribe' Charges
HARRISBURG, Dec. 4—(A 3 )—
The Senate tonight ordered an
investigation of charges by Sen.
John J. Haluska (D-Cambria)
that he was offered patronage
"bribes" to vote for the discarded
income tax proposal.
A resolution creating a 10-man
committee to conduct the probe
was passed unanimously after its
introduction by Sen. John M.
Walker, Republican floor leader.
Haluska, however, was absent
from the Senate floor. Colleagues
said he took a two-day deer-hunt
ing trip and is expected to return
tomorrow.
The Cambria County senator
has said he would "name names
and places" if such an investigat
ing committee were set up.
The Haluska probe will be the
first such investigation under
taken by the legislature since
1941. At that time, former Sen.
Anthony Cavalcante (D-Fayette)
was reproved for failing to back
up his statement that money was
offered for votes in support of a
bill to increase truck weight
